"I'm that person who still watches them. Well, by “them” I mean “One Life to Live." I'm devastated by its demise and you should be too. We're losing a national treasure. This is akin to tearing down the gilded Penn Station to make room for the depressing Madison Square Garden. The daytime soaps are a national heritage that should be protected and cherished."
FYF friend David Ozanich expresses what he really feels about the shuttering of ABC's "One Life to Live".

Gold Pills to gild your poop. Best statement on over-consumption ever?
Many folks bemoan the gentrification of the East Village as having pushed the gritty, edgy, brilliant, artist-types out in favor of trust-fund babies and regular contributors to 401Ks. Until recently, though, the East Village was home to Tobias Wong - a 35 year-old conceptual artist and designer whose remarkable body of work is a reminder that controversial, thought-provoking, "smart" art is still created in the borough of Manhattan.
Tobi died this past weekend. He was best known for provocative pieces like his gold-plated "Coke Spoon" series, one a McDonald’s coffee stirrer and the other a Bic pen cap. Like the coke spoons, perhaps, much of the rest of his work sarcastically "tweaked the nose" of modern luxury consumers; a well-trodden path for artists to be sure, but Tobi's works were sublime. You can judge for yourself here and here.
Besides all this, I will miss Tobi because I was lucky enough to know him. We’d sneak cigarettes in the back of The Hose on a blustery winter night. He bought me birthday drinks at Nowhere just this past spring. He had a sly, mischievous smile and - as you might expect - a winning sense of humor. My heart goes out to Tim, his wonderful boyfriend, as well as to Tobi’s family in Vancouver. We lost a fascinating and talented artist ostensibly too soon - but his legacy lies in the hope that greatness still happens - and lives - Downtown.

Bill Cunningham's "On the Street" column is a New York landmark. The long running column entered the video age a while back, allowing Cunningham's readers to now be his listeners. This week Bill went to the annual luncheon of the Central Park Women's Committee. You really have to see and hear it to fully understand the full Cunninghammity, but here's a quick break down:
